絵本通俗三国志 4編 巻之7
This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, illustrated by Katsushika Taito for the Okada Mohei publishing house, adapting the Chinese Three Kingdoms romance for a popular readership. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings of interior scenes, with figures in courtly robes on verandas, tiled floors, screens, garden trees and rockwork, and the clean contour linework and tidy spatial framing show a designer how Edo-era ink illustration organised figures against architecture.
